Military - November 2006

Mr Bushs visit to Vietnam has to elicit questions and analogies.
In both, did we have a clear strategy and an achievable objective ?
I note Mr Bush's popularity is now at 31%...and this has to be tied to the war as well. LBJ, Nixon, both grappled with the issue of leading the country during an unpopular war as well.

Question: about the SCRA (formerly known as SSCRA) - Creditors are supposed to drop your interest rate on any consumer debt (i.e. mortgage, credit cards, etc) to a 6% max cap. When I deployed, I contacted my mortgage company, and a few creditors..One however - Wells Fargo Card Services refused to drop the rate (the dropped it for two months, then doubled it to recoup the interest). When I returned from deployment, I spent an hour with them on the phone they flat out refused to reimburse the interest.

I called JAG, and they told me since I was reserve they could not help. I have since just paid off the card - but it boils me because I know they do this to servicemembers that aren't in the position to just pay it off. I met all the criteria to instate my SCRA rights (even with ten yrs of service I make made a fraction of what I do on the civilian side).

We are talking about the principal here - this is a violation to those that serve. What can I do? Who can I write to?

Its been a long hard battle, that is still going. It has claimed thousands of innocent lives and cost billions. Is it worth it for what the Iraqi's did to America on 9/11?

My husband and I are Military Police in the US Army. We both believe strongly that the government should "Do whatever it takes" to ensure the safety of the United States and its allies. What do you think?

Ok heres the sceniaro. On March 20, 1943 in Berlin Hitlers assination attempt succeds and is welcome by most of the German goverment because of the way the war was going for Germany at that time. A joint German leadership takes over for Hitler and makes peace with all its enmies including USSR and England. All the powers agree not to take any land from eachother and leave everything the way it currently was.So after March 20th of 1943 everything basically stays the same in Europe (nothing is forced upon Germany what so ever). Japan on the other hand still losses the war to the United States but at a greater rate since the USA could focus all its military towards the war aganist Japan. Now in 2006 how would the world be with Nazi Germany and Facist Italy still around or would they have collasped after the peace agreement?

Ok, I did buy into that "I support troops, but not the War" BUT: I was in the war. Granted not on the ground. But Us Navy. Not any more I have seen the light per say.

So, If soldiers are WARriors, they are trained to do a Job. Which is fight another Army, terrorist, etc. etc. How can we allow this to be said?

It is not similar to: I support IBM, I just dont like computers?

Just my thoughts, what are yours?

They are not soldiers, or even identifiable. They hide behind women and children.
